In this video we go over the Adidas D.O.N. Issue #4.
Price wise, Donovan Mitchell’s line has been the most affordable option among the other Adidas signature shoes, including Harden’s, Trae Young’s and Dame’s. The cushioning feels good, but the “Lightstrike Strobel” didn’t really impress me much. Traction works well, and the outsole should be fine for outdoor use. Unlike other Adidas basketball shoes, I recommend going true to size with the DON Issue 4 since they fixed a common problem -heel slippage. Stability and support are also great, the lockdown on your feet is really secure.
However, not recommended for flat footers due to soreness.
Let me know your thoughts on the Adidas D.O.N. Issue 4!

Thoughts on the DON Issue 4??
I'm glad that you said there's no more heel slippage. Trae and Dame shoes felt like they were falling loose all the time...
for me it doesn’t look good 😅
Don issue 4 is not bad, but don issue 3 is the best shoe ever for me)!
Idk i feel like puna court rider 2.0 is better material wise
I have flat feet and plantar fascitis thinking i will go with the puma trc courtblaze you reckon that is good for someone who uses a 2e width shoe
Totally agree with this shoe not being for flat footed people. The stableframe running up my arches and the lateral side keep jamming into my foot and its really uncomfortable. Loosening the laces did solve it a little but at the end of the day my feet were really sore. It might be a combination of the stable frame as well as lacking cushioning in the forefoot since the lightstrike tapers off there. Solid review and here's to hoping the next don issue would be more accommodating for wide footed people!
🤝🤝 Right exactly, might be the secure lacing system or lockdown being too good, but like you said hard lateral movements would hurt my feet. Hope they continue to make improvements, cheers! 🙏
they sadly don't look that good but always exited for uploads!
What about for casual everyday use? Do you think they are comfortable outside basketball? Considering pokey spikes in the back as well.
Used these as my tennis n outdoor badminton shoes, combined with Move Game Day insoles, the cushioning suddenly feels great. Also went TTS at size 10 for my 27cm ovevpronated feet with high instep and normal arch (since I preferred some room at the toes), the lateral claw is actually doing its job for tennis n baddie level of swift lateral movement. Only cons is what u said, the heel counter kinda went to my heel. Kinda wished that they're using softer materials there but can't be helped if the reason is for tank level of support ._.
Anyway, thx for the past review 🙏
Thanks for sharing, these felt really good on my feet, only shot around in them. But I feel like on clean court's they will really perform well. Be blessed.
👍🙏🙏
I am flat-footed and I currently play in this. I have a Lebron 18 low and it feels like I am going to have a sprain when I played in those but in DON Issue#4 I felt safe and not concerned having an ankle sprain. It works great for me though it kinda gets hot when you used it in a long time.
👍 Nice, yes I agree with very secure lockdown but just too much soreness for me personally, maybe I’m still in the break-in stage? It’s been a while tho…
i got the 18 low too, the dam heel so snug it makes the back shoe feel heavy & weighing me down from attempting lteral pivots or explosive moves
Got this just this month. The color reminds me of the Scarlet Spider (Kaine Parker) suit. Though it was stated as Louisville colors.
Very light and the lockdown is good.
Nice 👍 Yeah lockdown is definitely one of the best parts of this shoe.
another good thing I think is they brought back the jacquard material in the upper.
Tommy, love your reviews! Have you ever tried over the counter orthotics for your flat feet?
🙏Thank you so much! I haven’t, but actually looking into trying some! Do you have any suggestions or ones you also wanna find out about?
I have plantar fasciitis and these don 4 is great for me.
these look amazing imo
ima wait for the white colorway to release hehe
👍👍
Atleast they fixed the heel slippage. I threw my issue 3s in the trash because nothing i tried fixed the heel slip. Ill prolly pass on these too, i wish they would just give us thick bounce like they did in the d lillard 2s. Not really a fan of light strike.
Yeah I recently got a pair on sale but the don issue 3 was more of a bad shoe to me as well… Bounce or like the Bounce Pro on Dame 8 would be great for sure.
Can you please do a comparison between adidas's different types of foam/cushion (boost, bounce, lightstrike), pros and cons of each foam?
Very good suggestion. I’ll def keep that in mind, thank you!
I think it would be cool if you make 2 videos for one shoe: a first look with your first impressions and all that, and then a second video for the performance review after you’ve played in it a couple times, to see how you like it after it’s broken in and everything
Will definitely consider doing that, thank you! 🙏
I have normal arch but, i didnt like cushioning since its too hard to me(i think harden6 is way better). Also you cant feel the ground, its like you have heels. i think its not a good choice for guards. Its good looking, white-purpleish one looks great, however it doesnt work for me.
Thank you for the review 😊. My son still choosing his hoops sneakers to cop. He got TMac 1 Restomod SVSM colorway, a new pair for him. So, I told him, I'll buy him a new pair early next year. Again, thank you for this review, it can help my son to decide 😅
Thank you!! Nice that’s a dope colorway 😃👍
@@TommyLiu4 yes and that colorway is now rare nowadays 😅. Just my son is so lucky to copped that TMac 1 Restomod SVSM colorway just a month ago 😅
It's in this shoes, Mid Foot Feel Hurt because of shank plate?
hi tommy...what is the model of the blue adidas shoe included in this video, is it still the donovan mitchell model? I cannot find that color on his shoe line..please reply thanks
Hey. Dame 8
I had the don issue 2 and I really like them, the don issue 4 are a good upgrade?
Hey man, I skipped on the DON Issue 2 so can’t give you a comparison with those two. But everything I have to say about them are in this vid and also the comparison with the DON Issue 3. Hope they work out well for ya!
I am completely in the same boat as you. I also have flat feet. Isn't it annoying how a lot of bball shoes are for regular/narrow feet? Sucks especially when it's with shoes I really want but hurts my feet.
Right?! Could be a real struggle at times cause the shoe would have been great performance wise lol
I had the 1 2 3 and I loved them all and I had 11 pairs of the 3 and I'm going to get a lot of the 4s to.
Wowow, big collector! 👏
OMG, I have a total of 11 pairs only , and I use to brag about it, not any more 😅
Damm 11?
I have flat feet too and all of my basketballs shoes have me bad pain when i started running around and stuff and i dont know why. I thought it was just me until you mentioned the thing about feet getting tired and sore in the beginning of the video. I bought some custom orthotics and my feet have the same pains, is there any way to fix this or should i just stick with the shoe that gives me the least amount of pain?
Hey to be absolutely honest no accessories ever really helped in my case… It’s just gotta be the right shoes for us flat footers I think, ones that don’t make your feet sore, fits comfortably and have decent arch support.
@@TommyLiu4 i agree , I have also flat feet , and the shoes with narrow base at the middle where the worst for me ( the hyperdunks 2016, Kd 9 where the worst from a pain tolerance aspect, I had to literally stop my sessions ). Shoes with a wide toe box and mid foot were the best , for me , such as dame 4 or UA havoc 2… but I think one of the most overlooked thing is to train your feet , with some fascia and calves stretchings, also walking in sand and playing beach-volley helped me a lot
I used to have custom orthodics but they made my pain worse ( but maybe it’s because I was an idiot to put them in the hyperdunks 2016 wich were really narrow for me ) … i just got some superfeet orthodics ( the carbons ) hope that it will help me
Those look nice
Does the insole have adhesive? or easily removable?
Very easily removable. Not glued or sticky.
🔥🔥🔥🔥. I really hope the Strobel is comfy.
Not bad for sure, just not that big of a difference felt tbh
@@TommyLiu4 I've read the Certified his budget shoes are phenomenal.
I tried size 9s DON 4 amd Exhibit B and they felt like boats. Too heavy for me. And the fit is too toght too. Going for a size bigger didn't help much
Haha yeah by numbers only they’re a lightweight shoe, but didn’t feel like one for some reason 😂
Im size 13 in freak 4, What size should i get for this one?
Same size
Solid colorway for me.thank you ser Tom.God bless you and good morning 👍♥️🇵🇭
Morning! ☕️❤️
what's your height? and imo the cushion for this shoe was really disappointing, i was kinda hype for the lightstrike but it was overall kinda mid
I’m 5’11 (182cm). Yeah it was not as good as expected as I mentioned, overall still a better shoe than the 3 imo just not so friendly for flat footers.
@@TommyLiu4 is puma courtrider better than don issue 4?
I can barely feel the cushioning compared to the Harden 6s. It just feels too hard otherwise it is a comfortable fit after going up half size
Right, won’t compare against the Harden Vol. 6 imo too.
Hey tommy, can you do the nike uptempo 96 for a try?
Hey, will consider that. Thanks!
They remind me of the dame's a little bit
What basketball shoes do you recommend for High Volume feet? Both of my sons have wide feet but also a very thick, high volume, high instep (not high arch). Impossible for them to slide into a sock-like fit such as the Trae Young 2.
I know right the Trae Young 2 is a bad fit in that regard… Harden Vol. 6, PG 6 & Two Wxy V2 & V3 are decent.
Are they Good for semi wide feet? And are they Good for outdoor use?
Also what is the upper durability looking like?
Should be good for outdoor use, but they are new to me too so can’t speak on durability yet. These fit smaller than most Adidas basketball shoes since they fixed heel slippage, so not the most wide foot friendly shoe.
@@TommyLiu4 so could I just go half a size up?
@@RyanV.360 Yup you can, I’d still recommend going true to size as long as your feet are just slightly wide. Try them on in person first if possible.
@@TommyLiu4 I mean for reference I can get my feet into the kyrie infinity and the Zion 1 pretty easily and they both feel great and I went tts for both.
I have the flattest feet and I'm very prone to ankle sprains. Do you have any recommendations on which model I could go for?
Apreciate it!
🤝🤝 Based on the support and comfort level with my also very flat feet, I’d say the 3 best are still Two Wxy V2, PG 6, & Harden Vol. 6. Also the Zion 2 is surprisingly good for flat feet from my experience.
WOW 10 works very well too, just might be too pricey…
Is these shoes OK for wide feet?
Yes
Dame 8 vs Don Issue 4? Which one?
Dame 8
İ got a why not 5 at 45 size eu what should I get in these
same size
@@TommyLiu4 thanks
@@RoseProds 👍
@@TommyLiu4 do u think that 46 would be fine ?
@@RoseProds that’ll be too big I think
D.O.N. Issue 4 or Air Max Impact 4?
Umm. Air Max Impact 4
So is it good for who doesn't have flat foot ?
Yeah
The back is flappy because you don’t have the top lace in
Issue 4 ou dame extply 2.0? Thank you
Dame EXTPLY 2.0
@@TommyLiu4 😉😉
I still experience heel slippage in these
Light strike is a deal breaker. That shit bottoms out way too fast.
Late but Donovan himself uses an insole to preserve the lightstrike, getting a move insole(non-pro) is probably best idea
I am also flat footed and these are pretty cool. They’re stable, comfortable, and they have a really good heel counter.
👍👍🤝
Good day sir,ilove it,GOD BLESS sir
Just tried them on in store. Not a comfortable shoe for me.
Lateral containment too hard right?
Yessir. It was a real pain to adjust the lacing to get it to fit right.
Also I can tell from initial step-in comfort, which the 4s were lacking in. Cushioning was unimpressive. Lightstrike just feels better in Dames and Hardens. It felt like cardboard shoes. I’m a flatfooter too, so there was no way I’m playing ball in those shoes.
You need to get the lebron 20 bro
Yes when it releases, thanks man!
First
🍻
Bought it at 36$ rn
Niceeee
Haven't even hooped in the pair of 3s I have 😭😭
LOL I recently got a pair on sale, they were a bit better than I expected, was ready for really bad performance 😂
@@TommyLiu4 Dawg I got 2 for like 100 off Eastbay just because I saw minimal hype. I got the fresh prince joints for like 30 and for that money as long as my feet are still there when I take em off we good
@@pmdcollective LMAO nice that’s dirt cheap wth…
My toes 😭😭😭😭😭
Just copped on eastbay.com for $36. They're going out of business.
Great deal!
i got mine for 45$ new lol
Nicr
Well, PG 4 is very bad hehe
Adidas is dying, I hate the wide base(all their bball shoes) as it makes me feel like a duck when I am running up and down on the court!
Just cus you have tiny feet and you can't fit in anything that isn't kids sizes doesn't mean the brand is dying
@@Mdksupreme1facts I love both my pairs
@@Mdksupreme1 he got ugly feet 😂
The back only flaps when you don’t lace up all the laces smh that part can be misleading to the untrained street ball player. Here is a memo for you kids and young adults doing these reviews on shoes. If you do not lace up the shoe all the way then you will have floppy feet. Please give accurate reviews on shoes so that the unintelligent don’t miss out on shoes because they are being mislead but another unintelligent as it pertains to shoes
I mean you're not wrong, but you don't have to insult the guy. That ain't helpin anything bro. I also love the shoes tbh, especially for outdoors, lock down is crazy with just one of those extra eyelets. But for me they were even worse about digging into my Achilles and will probably leave a blister/raw spot until they're broken in. I recommend socks with some rear padding.
@@More-Sauce-Man I don’t mean to insult the guy but we have to value how we deliver information because the unlearned is always watching so someone who may really like the shoes will probably not buy them because of a silly claim of uncomfortable do to not lacing the shoe all the way up properly.
